davidrmoran : No need to send billing, it's the amount that caught my attention!
What's he talking about ? Market been going down & up since I started 401-k back in the day !! 1976 or 77. More so, longer then I can remember.
Have a pleasant weekend everyone, Derf
I just came from Chuck's place & a message on bonds & the IRS was posted. Believe it was how the IRS was looking at taxable & non taxable accounts.
Stay dry, Derf
A lot of water went over the dam in this discussion & I'll add to it.
A local technical college ran referendum to raise cash for upkeep,maintenance raises,etc. The main problem with this referendum , they wanted their cake & wanted to …
@ David_Snowball: When time permits, could you find out if they plan to close GPROX in the manner of GPGOX-GPIOX ?
Also I was wondering how much work it takes to transfer part of a account to the mutual fund originator ? Schwab at this time.

@Happy Camper: Good for you ! FWIW, What are they going to give me for letting my money there? Same old , same old ! I'm surprised they didn't stiff you because, usually you have to ask for ( rebate) up front. Lost out on a deal with Direct th…

@Old_Joe: Brokerage going down the tubes would indeed be hard to predict. I was thinking more inline with trying to keep account fully insured . They're only going to pay on what is put into the account , not the interest or return. Net equity woul…
Yes I read the article & passed it on. Why couldn't you pick up your account & move it to a new broker, thus starting out on new pot of money & full coverage ?
Have a cool week, Derf

Good investing,

@ Crash. I was afraid I would hear back from you with the results you stated. Gal pals budget plan also took a hit last year. House is 7-8 years old but pays less than $50 / month. Maybe it's time to down size?

@ Crash: I'm going 180 from everyone that replied. My thoughts, have you ever had an energy audit? $230 on budget plan seems rather high to me. A little insulation here & there or clear plastic around the windows should bring your gas bill dow…
